Here’s the alert from the Toxic-Free Toys Campaign that I received today – and info on how you can help!

Our bill to eliminate toxic chemicals from kid’s products passed the House or Representatives late Monday night by a vote of 95-0! A big thanks to everyone who signed postcards, made phone calls, and lobbied their legislators in Olympia! We could not have gotten this far without you! Read more about the victory here.

Please take a moment to thank your State Representatives for their support of this bill.

Now it is on to the Senate where we have 3 weeks to pass the bill. Despite the unanimous vote in the House, we had to fight industry lobbyists every step of the way to keep the bill from being gutted. We expect the same hard fight in the Senate. Our first hearing is scheduled for Feb. 27th at 3:30 pm in Olympia. If you would like to attend, contact Jim Dawson at jdawson@watoxics.org or 360-292-8540.
